Winners!

Okay then, I had wanted to wait for confirmation from Josie about whether a New Zealander came up with Tane, but I've run out of time. So, basically, I have chosen the two characters who seem to work best with each other, regardless of who thought them up.

The male character is Tane Aiavao, as put forward by Josie. This was her description:

Tane Aiavao. (Pronounced Tah-neh Eye-a-voh) Since this is an entry from New Zealand, why not chuck some ethnicity in there? This dude's Maori.

As per usual, Tane is dark skinned, huge brown eyes (so they can do the eye-popping pukana at the end of rugby hakas to scare the crap out of you) and has short tousled dark brown hair. He can also have tattoos, maybe even a Maori pattern on half his face. Around mid twenties. Oh, and huge grin.

He's pretty laid back, takes things as they come, never has a plan (eg, never knows what he's doing until he's doing it) and pretty happy with everything. Probably a bit of a coward, but hilarious without knowing it. Interested in girls, food and explosions (especially those on video games). I would reckon he is an Elemental. Little bit of a rookie with the magic, but is a brilliantly quick learner.

The female character is Hayley Skirmish, as created by Sparky Braginski. I have a feeling Sparky will be a tad delighted to have won this... This was her description:

Magic- The ability to run up walls and and upside down. She can also flip with ease. Basically her magic is and combination of Tanith's and Springheeled Jack's.

Personality- Has very strong opinions, and you can't change what she believes in. Always says what she thinks, regardless of how other will respond. She is Australian and has an Aussie accent. She is good, but is involved in a feud against the Aussie Sanctuary, because she's a bit like a modern Robin Hood.

As usual with these things, the standard was EXTREMELY high. In the end, it came down to picking two characters who would make the most unlikely- and therefore the most fun- partners. So now we have Tane's laid-back attitude contrasted with Hayley's no-nonsense approach, and when we put them in a highly dangerous situation we get, well, a story...

Hopefully...

Well done to the creators, and hard luck to those whose ideas weren't picked. Remember, it's not because your creations weren't good enough, it just came down to what I need at this particular time.

You've never failed to impress me with your imagination and enthusiasm and talent. Be proud, Minions.

You probably don't. I'm actually not feeling anything right now. I always thought the idea had been a little far-fetched. Besides, my magic 8 ball kept saying "outlook not good" You should really get one of those. Anyways, Buh-buh.

*hugs Thalia* I hope your day ends up no tbeing as stressful as you fear Thalia. It is tough going back after a nice holiday. I like to relax (if I can when parents are not home) when I firat get home then do homwework. I hop eyou don't have any homework and get relax completely. :D

Huzzah! Congrats to the winners! And Sparky, I can't even imagine your freak out when you read who won. And congratulations Josie! Though I don't think I've met you your character is quite interesting.

*glowers* Why am I alone? Where's Sparky? WHY ISN'T SHE HERE TO TALK ABOUT HOW SHE CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WON, SO I CAN TELL HER I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS BECAUSE I WAS SCREAMING AND SHAKING WHEN I WON ALSO??? (By the way, Derek, you are an AWESOME person) Maybe it's because I was stuck doing my stupid algebra homework for THREE HOURS...

*looks at earlier comments in a hopeful attempt to be entertained* *attemp succeeds*

Okay, sorry Sparky, but... Jervis, that's hilarious. I wish I had been there for that. Although, I feel the need to warn you... DON'T TELL SPARKY TO WEAR A DRESS. Last time I did that, she threw me to Caelan. And it didn't end well.

*stares at Jervis like she's insane* CAELAN AND I ARE NOT FRIENDS. This creeper *gestures at Caelan* comes out of nowhere, says a few creepy things to me, then leaves, and comes back a few days later. It's deeply unsettling.

... lucky, you two. I thought you were going to win, Sparky, but I thought it was going to be that girl who you based on yourself and couldn't stop making the comment "Me. Again, can't enfisize that enough."

Ignoring the creepy vampire thing? I'm still not all that dandy. I was stuck doing homework, ONE SHEET OF ALGEBRA HOMEWORK, for three hours, because my sisters turned on the TV really loud and I can't focus with it on and I forgot how to do everything and Peren isn't very good at helping me...
